    Solve for Pump Horsepower in 1-Inch Tube with No Heat Transfer

    So just (5760lb/ft^2)(.12ft^2/s)... how would I get hp from those units?

    Solve for Pump Horsepower in 1-Inch Tube with No Heat Transfer

    Still pretty stuck, I am unsure how to get the change in P into psf from the units had once I incorporate the velocity?

    Pressure difference in decreasing diameter tube

    Has anyone worked, or could anyone work through this problem? I'm coming up with an increase of 58 Pa which seems low?

    Pressure difference in decreasing diameter tube

    what if your required to use Bernoullis eq? Would you divide the mass flow by the density for the volumetric flow to solve for velocity? There for: (0.30kg/s)/(0.166kg/m^3)=1.807m^3/s

    Solve for Pump Horsepower in 1-Inch Tube with No Heat Transfer

    Homework Statement This was a thermodynamics question; A fluid is being moved by a pump though a 1inch diameter tube. The density is 100 lb/ft3 with a flow of 12 lb/s. The pressure rises 40lbf/in. Assume there is no heat transfer. Find hp of the pump to the nearest 1/4hp. Homework...

    Pressure difference in decreasing diameter tube

    Homework Statement Helium at 20°C passes through a pipe with an initial diameter of .3 meters decreasing to .25 meters. The helium flows at .30 kg/s and an initial pressure of 200 kpa. Find the difference in pressure ΔP across the decreasing section. Assume incompressible and inviscid flow...
